Miss Morgan playing with the highlighters in my office post Children's Hospital Visit. Morgan has complete <i>kidney reflux</i> in one kidney and a partial case in the other. This simply means the valve that keeps the urine traveling one direction does not work. Therefore, she's prone to kidney infections, which is dangerous for a 1 year-old. Morgan has only had 1 infection to date. Thank the good Lord!</div>

<br />
I sat down to <i>finally</i> write a blog post and one of the littles had an accident. This is NO JOKE people. Writing on this blog is <i>extremely</i> hard to do!<br />
<br />
A not so typical Monday night because Mike's working. However, it is typical for our family. It's almost 8 PM- bath time in this house. Dinner has been served and cleaned up, the kitchen tidy for tomorrows havoc that will surly strike promptly at 8 AM, Gracie pacing the outdoors as our friends come over for a late W.O.D., and our girls running like wild in the backyard.<br />
<br />
I decided to grab the laptop, pour a glass of wine, and blog.<br />
<br />
One has an accident, the other rarely lets her momma do anything without her. But here I sit.<br />
<br />
Addie is riding her orange baseball bat like a horse, yelling "Giddy up, horse! Giddy up!" Morgan chases her, admiring her every move. We made chalk letters. Morgan, our brave soul, walks among the wood chips with her bare feet, learning which steps hurt and those that don't.<br />
<br />
A day does not pass without me retiring the words "please share" and it's utterly exhausting. Yet, I wouldn't change a thing for the world. Some days my patience are short and I lose my temper (whether out loud or quietly within). Other days, I seem to have this never-ending peace and calmness over me....saying to myself over and over, "This is just a phase, soon it will be gone, and I will long to have these days back."<br />
<br />
Speaking of 'phase'...little has decided she must sleep with mommy. I despise being woke up to her little feet kicking my ribs, but I know this will pass. She will not be 18 sleeping in my bed.<br />
<br />
I am very happy to report that Addison and Morgan are playing together...almost non-stop all day every day. When one is sleeping, the other asks where she is. If one of them is out of the house, there are questions and inquiries about the missing sibling. I love it. I hope they grow a bond that nobody else knows or understands. I love my sisters with all my heart, but none of us were 21 months apart.<br />
<br />
Well, there went my 10 minutes of <i>free</i> <i>time</i>. Ha ha ha- I still laugh at that phrase. I was high-fiving my daughter who was playing golf and baseball with a stick and a rock, as she exclaimed "I win!!", reminding little that sand does not mix well in our hair, and refilling my wine glass. I have toys covering my living room floor, 3 laundry baskets full of laundry to be folded and put away, and a dog that I meant to walk. But...those can wait until tomorrow. For now, it's bath time with my littles who one day won't be taking a bath anymore :)<br />

Cali Style!I'm seriously depressed that my last post shows our Miss Morgie Moo at 3 months!<br />
<br />
So, here's to keeping up with my blog. I miss it. I am hoping to make time each week for a post. I <u>need</u><br />
to blog. It's the best kind of therapy!<br />
<br />
I will back track on our life for almost the past year later.<br />
<br />
For now, I want to update the world about my precious girls, our new living arrangements (no snow here!) and life as a mommy-daddy stay-at-home, go crazy duo!<br />
<br />
Here are our girls in the past months:<br />

{lil Miss Into Everything b/c I must do what my sister does}</div>
<br />
As all of you know, we moved to San Diego, CA for a job opportunity Michael could not pass. We were timid. I cried <i style="font-weight: bold;">hard</i> when we were visiting. Thinking- this isn't home, we will never fit in here. It seemed so <b>hard</b> and <b>cold</b> and <b>unwelcoming</b>.<br />
<br />
My gut told me to go. My heart told me to stay. Such a tornado of emotions. I am a wife. I cannot avoid backing up my partner in life. This is his dream. He had given presentation after presentation to the man behind this job several times, year after year. It had finally come. I should have jumped for joy! But I couldn't. I made a wonderful life in Chicago. I had an extended family that became my best friends. People I wanted to be with every.single.day.of.the.year.<br />
<br />
That alone doesn't happen. Everything was smooth. Mike worked for the airline. Left for 4 days straight, came home and was a full-time Dad. I worked at a pre-school whose education surpasses everything I've ever know for its students. My oldest daughter attended school there...with me. I loved it. Like any mom, I dreamed of a paycheck flying into my bank account while I stayed home with my beautiful daughter. I was a hop, skip, and jump away from immediate family. I spent hours, days, weeks, and even months there. THAT is where I brought our first baby girl home to. Why/How could I ever leave?<br />
<br />
Then December, 2012 arrived. Morgan was born. Michael accepted the job offer. My world went into a whirlwind of chaos.<br />
<br />
Today is February 5th, 2014 (Happy Birthday to my niece, Ryane!). We have lived in San Diego for <i>nine months</i>. We love it. Most importantly, our girls love it. They throughly enjoy being outside to the f.u.l.l.e.s.t. I can't express that more. My husband is home more than I could have ever <i>DREAMED</i> of for the life of a pilot. I long for sunshine, in fact, I'd say that my body demands it. Sure enough- San Diego has ample amounts of sunshine. Gracie is happy to have a backyard. Off leash she can roam, lay, kick dirt, and peer at passerby's all day long.<br />
<br />
That makes 5 for 5. A win is a win. And it's truly a W for The Buttenob family.<br />

Mommy cannot believe you are TWO years old. <br />
<br />
You have grown SO much and have a wonderful personality of your own. I love watching you learn, change, and grow every single day. It has been an interesting ride the past few months. You have done considerably well with all the change and I hope the next few months don't create any negative attitudes. <br />
<br />
Your little sister, Morgan, was born in December. Addie, you love her more than I can express. You still get jealous from time to time, but you are very curious about what she is doing most of your days. I absolutely cannot wait until you can play together. Lately, you have been teaching Morgan to talk just like Mommy and Daddy do. When you wake up in the morning your first request is frequently, "I see Morgan." Her name is now Morgie to you. And you do pronounce the 'r.' When she is on the floor, you are right there next to her talking to her. When she's in the bumbo you love sitting right there next to her. It's awesome when you two watch Baby Einstein together...it reminds me of when you were just a little baby girl.<br />
<br />
Mommy has been home since December. I was supposed to go back to work in February, but Daddy got a new job. So, now we both work for CrossFit. Daddy is the pilot and Mommy gets to work from home. We are moving to San Diego within the next month (this has been pushed back several times, which is stressful, but we are eventually going to leave South Elgin). It breaks my heart b/c I know this move is going to be hard on you. I hope we get to San Diego, move into a house as quickly as possible, and begin to meet new friends for you. I want to enroll you in a preschool where you can meet friends and socialize. I think that has been the hardest part of us being home for three and a half months. However, this has been my dream and I do love being with you all.the.time. I will not lie though, it's tough and it has been a change for all of us. Daddy is also home more than he has ever been before. We are really getting quality family time and I cringe at the thought of it being any different. That's because your Mommy is selfish :)<br />
<br />
Those are the two biggest changes for you lately. You are a little spit fire. You have an attitude about you...but I love it. You are most certainly two (even as I type this you are on the floor throwing a fit about wanting the pine cones outside...the same ones you didn't want two minutes ago). You were a size 4 diaper, but we are experimenting with potty training. You can go all morning with no accidents. However, you would rather not worry about pulling down your panties. We spend most of our mornings without clothes on your bottom half :)<br />
<br />
Your birthday party was Minnie Mouse themed. And since it's also St. Patrick's Day, we just had a small family celebration. With all of the madness around the move, I thought this was best and low stress for you and Mommy!<br />

{and Uncle Scott too!}</div>
<br />
It was a mellow low key day. You took a late nap, so it was an early evening party. Auntie Kim made corned beef with potatoes, carrots, and cabbage. We had quite the feast. Your cake was red velvet and super yummy! You loved it :) <br />
<br />
At your two year checkup you weighed 24 pounds. You are still in the 10th percentile...our little midget! You got a shot in your leg, but didn't even flench. Yay Addie Lou! You still eat like a bird, but when you are really hungry, you eat great. You like broccoli still...however, it's clearly not the best. You like hotdogs and mac n'cheese like most kids. You are enjoying pizza more often- thankfully. You seem to be drinking more milk and still love your apple juice. It's so cute to hear you ask for it. Now, you love orange juice and "orange" which is Orange Crush. Anything in the can, is the best.<br />
<br />
At this point in your life, you love being outside. For your birthday we bought you golf clubs, a bat, and a glove with a ball. All are PINK of course! You speak very clearly for someone your age. You already use verbs in your sentences, which is ahead of most two-year-olds. Addie, you're one smart cookie. You pick up and repeat everything. I called Daddy a 'dummy' and sure enough you repeated it. Thankfully, you haven't remembered that word. You are constantly learning. You love the big slide at the park, but are leery when walking across the bridge b/c it suddenly moves on you. It's cute to watch you explore. Addie, you have begun inventive play and imagining things. Pretend play happens at the kitchen, in the park, and when playing with your babies. You LOVE your babies.<br />
<br />
We usually go for pizza on Thursdays with the family. Last week, you sat on these bleacher seats and told me what number was on each seat. You can count to 10 and say your ABC's. Not always in order. I feel like you are missing out on singing songs...all of your friends at school are singing, but we will work on that little girl. Colors and shapes tend to be difficult, but we practice all the time. Daddy thinks you are going to be a lefty. The other day he was drawing with you and you preferred your left hand to your right. He has pictures for documentation :) You so love doing art. Mimi bought you some coloring books, crayons, and paint. It's a fun activity to do together.<br />
<br />
You are an amazing little girl. You are such a joy in our life...we are SO lucky to be your Mommy and Daddy. We know you will go far in life baby girl :)<br />

As I was clearing out some of the 300+ pictures on my phone, I stopped and realized that some of them were not put into the computer. SO SAD! But I guess I kept the 'important' ones. Still...heartbreaking really. So here is the past couple of months in iPhone photos. Enjoy :)<br />

I have learned that I LOVE dressing our girls the same. I don't do it all the time (although I can see why ppl do). But they just look so darn cute! So for Valentine's Day I dressed them alike. MiMi bought them these outfits when Morgan was born. Sadly Morgan couldn't fit in her tiny little outfit without looking like the outfit swallowed her. lol. However, for this special occasion it fit and they melted my heart.</div>

We didn't do much. As everyone already knows, Mike is not a fan of this 'holiday.' We got heart shaped doughnuts for breakfast. Then, since it was on a Thursday, we attended the family pizza outing. And thats about it :)<br />

Morgan, you turned 2 months on February 17th, so as you can see Mommy is slightly behind. As of today you are closer to 3 months ;) But for the sake of capturing your monthly pictures, keeping everyone up to date on your happenings, and creating memories of you, I shall write a post anyways!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Lets see. You weigh 10 lbs 11 oz, which still puts you 3 oz over what your big sister weighed at your age. You are a very happy baby. Your second month of life has been filled with smiles. We love to talk to you. It's rewarding b/c you move your mouth with ours. You don't talk a lot, but put a ton of effort into letting your voice be heard. It's really stinking cute. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You got 3 shots at the doctor and one oral drug. You took the oral one like a champ b/c Mommy gives you Vitamin D drops daily. Your first two shots went off without a hitch. The nurse warned me about the third and told me to expect a scream. It was terrible! Your little face was upset- you were offended and in pain. My heart broke. I calmed you down quickly but your lower lip kept pouting, so I nursed you for a few minutes to calm you down. And you ended up passing out. You stayed in that state most of the night. There was a big snow storm coming that night. The snow started to fall as we left the doctors office. We went to family pizza night (as we do every Thursday) and Auntie Kim watched you late that night while I picked MiMi up from the airport. A spur of the moment surprise visit was awesome!</div>

Addison still adores you. A small part of me is excited for you to become more independent b/c you two are going to have SO much fun playing. Your big sister just started pretending and I LOVE it. I can just imagine you girls playing dolls, princesses, school, and whatever else tickles your fancy. This part of being a mom is awesome!<br />
<br />
You usually sleep 8-9 hours a night! Another FABULOUS sleeper! I swear that Baby Wise stuff works. Your last feeding is typically 8:30-9:30 pm and you sleep until 4:30-6:30 am. I know I am lucky and am truly grateful you sleep that well. If only mom could go to bed after that last feeding! I will one day I am sure. <br />
<br />
Morgan, Mommy still breast feeds you. You are still an efficient and excellent eater! It's great. You love to nurse. You take about 8-10 min a side, burp like a champ (usually), and you're happy.<br />
<br />
You went on your first trip to San Diego your second month of life. You were a trooper. Slept and ate on the airplane like it was no big deal. You weren't too fond of sleeping somewhere else over night though. The first night you slept on Mommy's pillow...therefore, Mommy didn't get much sleep! I forgot that when Addison traveled this young I swaddled her in her car seat. So the second night that's what we did. And you were fine. You still like being swaddled. <br />

{pretty cool 'cloud' on our way back to the airport to go home}</div>
<br />
We left Addison with Auntie Kim, Uncle Ron, Ryane, and Kyle as it was a short trip w/most of our time spent in the car. We missed her SO much though!<br />
<br />
You continue to be a huge blessing in our life. We love you so much Miss Morgan Ann!<br />

Not that she's not a fan of Daddy all the time, but it's just been all about me lately. It's great. It's tiring. I've captured some great pics..and wanted to document them. I am no dummy. I know in due time she will dislike me, my decisions, and rules. For now, I will embrace this little girl.<br />

{friends for life}</div>
There are times when I worry I ruined Addison's life. She's going through so much right now. She's turning 2, which is truly enough in itself. Her mommy, who tends to be her best friend these days, is always busy. Usually when Addison wants attention its feeding time for Morgan. Addison breaks my heart. She says "Mommy, no Mogan," "Mogan in seat, Addie Mommy," and "Daddy Mogan, Mommy Addie." We are getting through it and I know it is all for the better.<br />
<br />
I know in a few years I will look back on these times with fond memories and maybe even a laugh or two. It is tough though. Two under two is busy...like I've never been this busy in my life. And I was a nanny for four under three. However, I was not <i>mommy</i>. <br />
<br />
I hope Addison never feels like, or remembers being on the back burner. Because she's not. I still put her first (unless I'm feeding Morgan). And even then I am dealing with and talking through an issue with my Addison. Thankfully, she is a talkative toddler and is <i>very</i> good at communicating. <br />
<br />
So, I panic...question my family planning. But then I will have a moment like one of the pictures above and everything seems right in the world. Addison is a fabulous big sister. Constantly helping and loving. When I catch her talking to Morgan, in her own little language, on her own time, I realize this is the plan for my family. That ideal that I had in my head many years ago. Even last year...when we got pregnant. I want them to be friends. I want them to rely in each other and I want to give them this relationship that provides them with years of irreplaceable, unconditional love. I know this feeling b/c I have it with all THREE of my sisters. I am triple blessed. <br />
<br />
In those tough times, I take a deep breath, stand back and tell myself <i>it is all going to be ok</i>. And it will be. It helps to look back on these pics...warms my heart really. I love these two little beings more than they will ever know.<br />

Mommy is in complete denial that we will be celebrating your SECOND birthday in just one short month. And you will have to forgive me for slacking on the monthly updates. I will do my best to give an overview of the past few months. Of course, I will post as many pictures as possible b/c you are too darn cute!<br />

The "windy city." A place where there is snow in the winter. Well, the past two winters(including this one), we have had relitively mild weather. To me, it still has been super cold...we have had snow, but not stuck in your house snow. I have learned (from my fab sister-in-law) to keep a stash of food in your freezer during the winter JUST IN CASE :) <br />
<br />
Anyways...we currently have no where to go and absolutely nothing to do. I guess it's one of the worst flu sesasons in history and my babies will not be a cluprit of that god awful sickness. SO...it's a perfect time for a huge snow storm that keeps us bottled up inside for a great reason!<br />
<br />
This has not happened if you are aware of all things Chicago and winter right now. Last night we did get a few inches and last week we got a couple that have since melted. Here are some pics for proof. <br />
<br />
Addie Lou, Daddy took you out to explore the cold and you loved it...for a short period of time. <br />

<br />
Mommy cannot believe it has been one whole month since you graced us with your presence! I guess it's standard to say that with each update, but with the holidays I feel like your one month truly flew by for everyone.<br />
<br />
Right now you still wear newborn diapers. Your appointment is on Monday the 21st, so I am not exactly sure about your weight. I did step on the scale just to see...it's not 100% accurate, but it said you were 10 lbs on the money! Holy moly little girl, if you are indeed 10 lbs, you've grown like a weed. So, please slow down!<br />
<br />
You are a great, quick, efficient, happy nurser. You eat every 3 hours during the day and every 4-5 at night, which just happened this past week. You are loving our schedule. Mommy seems to have your favorite position to fall asleep in...in the cradle hold or like I'm nursing you on my left side. Usually with your Nuk...you like those binkies over the ones that Addison had. So funny how different you already are! I love it to the fullest, life would be too boring and plain if you were the same :) I've been pumping since two weeks...I tend to overproduce and you choke and cough frequently. I feel terrible. Pumping has given Mommy some freedom and I have had my share of adult beverages. You had your first bottle on New Years Eve. Daddy did wonderful feeing you. You took the bottle like a champ and have had no issues whatsoever! Looks like we have another good baby on our hands! Mommy enjoyed wine and champagne at midnight...I even got Daddy's midnight kiss in person for the first time in awhile (earmuffs). <br />
<br />
My only worry has been your lack of poo. You hadn't gone since Monday and I panicked. Luckily, they said if your demeanor is happy and you are passing gas...oh wait. Before I forget...you may be the gassiest baby I've ever known! You truly take after your father...and mother. I have to admit I am a gassy girl too. As is your big sister.<br />
<br />
You have been an absolute joyful addition to this family. Addison adores you...and has truly only been jealous minimal times since your birth. Addie is very vocal and is excellent at letting us know what she wants and when she wants it. She also cannot keep her hands off of you, hates it when you cry, and always gives you kisses. All three of us love you more than you will ever fathom!<br />
<br />

My mom and sister, Caitlin, were here before Morgan's arrival. They left Saturday, December 22nd. Too quick. I was sad, BUT what was most difficult for me was Addison's reaction to no longer having extra family near her 24/7. It breaks my heart every.single.time. she asks for 'MiMi/Granma' or 'Caitit.' <br />
<br />
Then we had the hype of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We tried to help Addison understand Santa and his arrival. We enjoyed celebrating our first family Christmas morning together. I felt as if that time went by in a flash. Morgan's first Christmas has already come and gone..*tear.*<br />
<br />
Shortly after those moments, my dad, Jenny, Emily, and Hannah arrived. They leave tomorrow and I am plagued with the feeling that I'm not going to see my family in <i>forever</i>. I feel extraordinarily blessed b/c my family and Mike's family have surrounded us the past three weeks. I love that feeling. It fills my bucket and makes me less stressed. I just fly by the seat of my pants...each day seems to come and go so smoothly.<br />
<br />
Boo to my family living far away. Boo to Mike's family having lives of their own ;) As if everyone should stop their daily lives to spend time with this postpartum crazy lady. Ha ha ha. <br />
<br />
It's my personality to not focus on those sad feelings though. Instead, I will spend my time thinking about how lucky I am to have had the time with the ones we love the most. I will continue to be grateful and embrace my time with my girls at home, off of work. That makes me bummed too...two of my eight weeks are already gone. AH! Say it ain't so! <br />
<br />
When I wake up around 8 am to a toddler yelling someone's name, a hubby out cold on one side of me, a squeaky peanut in the basinet on my other side, and a pooch prancing around antsy to get outside, I pinch myself. This IS real. This IS my life. I am SO happy and SO full. I absolutely LOVE it. <br />
<br />
I fear Mike leaving. I fear being home alone with two baby girls. I don't want to spread myself too thin. I don't want to "fail" at a mommy moment (although I know I am only human and it's to be expected). I want my little family to figure out what is to come in the next 6 months. I want to be a good mom and raise two good daughters. Whew, I feel better.<br />
<br />
So, pinch me, good Lord, and let me know I'm alive ;) Oh and Thank You for this wonderful life!<br />

Even with the downs and lows of life, we have it good. I am forever thankful for that. <br />
<br />
Addison, it was your second Thanksgiving. Daddy participated in his first ever Turkey Bowl, he was super excited to be around this year. We got to stick around the house preparing my onion dip, which is our family's favorite appetizer :) It was relatively warm and sunny this year! We headed off to Great Grandma Terry and Great Grandpa Bill's house with Auntie Kim, Uncle Ron, Kyle, and Ryane. You didn't get a nap before we left the house and didn't fall asleep in the car. Double bummer. There was a small miscommunication between your father and I about what time we were leaving the house. <br />
<br />
We arrived and you we down for a nap shortly after. Bad thing was that dinner was to be served roughly an hour after you went down. Of course, we sat in the formal dining room, which is located just outside of where you nap. You quickly woke up and screamed for a good 15-20 minutes. The whole family was waiting on <i>you</i>, little miss, to say the prayer. All of us with watering mouths! You calmed down, but did not eat a thing. You ate more when you were 8 months old :) You missed out Princess.<br />
<br />
It was a good evening filled with family. We FaceTimed our family in Texas and were thankful for technology and the ability to keep in touch with those we love. Mommy planned out her Black Friday outings b/c this year the stores I wanted to hit were open at 8 and 9 pm Thursday night. Daddy played Monopoly. Addie, you will soon learn Mommy despises that game. It takes entirely too long and everyone is competitive. Game over for this Momma, especially pregnant and Miss Ads not being entertained by anything (insert another crying fit due to the lack of nap and the fact that it was past bedtime). <br />
<br />
I never took a family picture *tears* I am beyond very upset with myself. But that's OK. I'm very forgetful this pregnancy and that's where I point my blame. Little 2.0, you had a great meal in my belly. Surprisingly, we did not gorge ourselves and eat too much. We ate just enough. At this point, eating a ton of food only makes my mood absolutely terrible and my belly (mostly the skin that covers it) feel like it's stretch inhumanly far.<br />
<br />
Thank you, Lord, for family and friends. Thank you for my husband and for him being home to share this holiday for once; for me being a mother to an amazing little 20 month old girl and the bean growing in my belly; for food on my table and a roof over my head. Thank you for giving me hands down THE.BEST. family- those I grew up with, my own little family, and those I got through marrying my husband. My life is full- SO.MUCH. to be thankful for :)<br />

What do I think is growing in my belly? A little boy? A little girl? It's the question I get asked the most. Well, along with "How do you do it?" Referring to not finding out the gender.<br />
<br />
My honest to goodness answer is- I do not know. People always say, "I just had a feeling," "I knew it was a boy (or girl) from day 1," and "The second pregnancy felt different, so I knew it was a boy (or girl)." I am not that way at all. Quite frankly, I feel like those people are smokin' somethin' :)<br />
<br />
Bottom line is folks, every pregnancy is different. My mother has four daughters and we were all different pregnancies. And I am 100% positive we are all girls(XX)! So here's my story of how this pregnancy has gone for me.<br />
<br />
We knew we wanted our children close in age. Roughly two years apart at least. We have friends and have heard of friend's friends that have had difficulty getting pregnant the second time around. To be honest, it scared the living daylights out of us. So, we thought we would get a jump start on the 'trying for #2' bandwagon. Turns out we had no trouble at all. I truly believe this is God's plan for us. I've wanted nothing more than to be a mom my whole entire life. Our two children will be 21 months apart.<br />
<br />
In the beginning, I felt <i>so </i>sick. I didn't want to eat anything and anything that I did force down my throat gave me a terrible stomach ache. I never puked. Thank the good Lord. I was miserable. This started my the downfall of working out. The first trimester was nothing like it was Addison. So, my first instinct was boy.<br />
<br />
Second trimester was great. Felt the same way I did with Addison. I was exhausted though, therefore the no work trend continued. When Mike was home, I was a bum and relied on him to do a lot of the evening routine around our house. However, with his fabulous career, he is gone for four days straight. This exhausted me to no end. I dreaded the day he left almost more than ever before. Feeling the same = girl. Then my belly started to show...more and more. My belly button popped early. I feel like I am carrying the exact same way = another little girl. <br />
<br />
The third trimester hasn't been terrible. The morning sickness never came back- thank the good Lord again. I have the normal woes of pregnancy. I am completely uncomfortable. It hurts to walk, sit, and lay down. I feel like I cannot breathe and my whole abdomen feels as if I'm stretch armstrong. Like, there are two professional tug-of-war competitors clawing their way to another victory...in my skin. It hurts. No stretch marks to date. It doesn't mean my skin is not stretched. Still carrying the same, although that's just how I feel, some people tell me this too. Another point on the girl side. I am measuring right on this pregnancy, which is different than with Addison. This baby has its feet stuck in my right rib cage...it's lovely. I do not remember this with Addison. Baby B 2.0 also seems to wake me up in the middle of the night with movement, which I have heard is bad news. A baby awake in utero in the middle of the night means a newborn awake in the middle of the night. <br />
<br />
About a month ago, I was telling Mike that it's another girl. I did all the old wife's tales and, if I'm not mistaken, they all said girl. I did them with Addison and they all said girl, which turned out to be the case! I've had moms tell me they felt the exact same with their second as they did with their first. I have also had moms tell me they felt completely different with their second and it was the same gender as their first. You just never know. It's 50-50. We know there is one baby in my belly. And as far as we know, we are blessed with a healthy baby growing just as it should be. <br />
<br />
Our name journey has been rough...we truly agree on so little in general. With that said, our boy name was set awhile back. It took us awhile to get there, but we have agreed. A girl's name just became settled last week. I <i>love</i> our boy's name and feel different about the girl's name. I like it, but I don't <i>love</i> it like I do the boy's name. With Addison that's how we felt about the girl's name...we <i>loved</i> it. Maybe that's a sign? It's a boy?<br />
<br />
And here I sit. Some days I think it's a boy. Maybe it's b/c of a dream I had the night before. Other days I think, no way it's a girl. Either way I know that this baby will have the best big sister and I hope and pray they have a sibling bond like no other. I will jump for joy when we have a real life, healthy baby. I will jump for joy b/c I am done with pregnancy #2, I get to become a mom of <i>two</i>, and I get to watch my children grow up together. It's a wonderful thing...and I cannot wait till it's done ;) <br />

Man, October must have been busy. My Mac is still functioning minimally and my charger that I used bit the dust. So, no computer on my part doesn't help the blogging world. <br />
<br />
Anyways...I will pause on details of November to get everyone (my memory...cough, cough) caught up on October.<br />
<br />
Miss Addison Irene turned 19 months old. She now seems taller than ever before and talking all.the.time. I love her talking though. It may get old one day. I'm sure when she learns the word <i>why</i> I will go insane, but for right now the talking is awesome. She can communicate 24/7. There isn't anything she says that we don't get...it may take a minute or two, but we figure it out. Addison loves to play. I guess she has started a new thing where she closes her door. Needing privacy to read books this early in life? Lord, help us for when she turns 16! <br />
<br />
We broke down in October and started giving her half chocolate milk half whole milk. The kid finally drinks ONE whole cup of milk a day. We are hoping we can increase that in November to TWO cups! Doc says she must gain weight, so we are doing our best to help her do just that. We feed her nonstop, but she doesn't always want to eat. Do you blame her? Addie, your favorite foods right now are oatmeal (we buy the maple/brown sugar low sugar), which you call 'moat meal' respectively. You like Velveta shells and cheese, broccoli (still), peas (still), toast and cereal (especially on Saturday mornings with Mommy). You really could live without fruit, but you eat yogurt. You are very big on feeding yourself. You don't mind if we help you, but you are great at using a spoon and fork and do a lot yourself. It's funny b/c, when you get frustrated, you use your hands. I like that you are determined, but aren't afraid to revert to what you know :)<br />
<br />
Still in a size 3 diaper...we are hoping this also increases with your weight gain in November! Seems silly, but it's the small things in life sometimes, my dear. You wear 18-24 months clothes. We said good-bye to your 12 month jammies awhile ago. <br />
<br />
This past month Addie has tried to give us a hard time when going down for a nap or bed. We try to get into a familiar routine so that she knows what to expect. It seems to be working thus far. Mommy cannot stand it when you cry...and Ads, you've been giving Daddy a run for his money on days you are home with him. You little stinker! <br />
<br />
In October, Addison also learned all her Aunties' names. She says them all when they aren't an ear shot away. Rarely on FaceTime and the phone, of course! She repeats anything and everything we ask her to...it's been a lot of fun. Little girl, you still <i>love</i> to read. We are all looking forward to some new books for Christmas. Our next educational project is colors and the ABC's. We haven't mastered those yet, but she does know the letter 'A' is for Addison :) And it melts my heart!<br />
<br />
Addie, you are such a sweet little girl. Don't get me wrong, you have your stinker side that you like to flare often. However, there are several moments when you will run up to me or Daddy screaming our name and only wanting to give a hug or snuggle up with us. You are great at giving kisses still. <br />
<br />
We are one more month closer to adding another addition to our family and I pray every single day that you, baby girl, do not feel less important or fall to the wayside. YOU are the reason we wanted to have another baby. Not only because you are a blessing in our lives, but because we know you will love growing up with another child around :) We love you to the moon and back Princess!<br />

Addison, you are an incredible little girl. Yes, I said little girl and not baby. *tear* You are no longer a baby. You are a toddler. Walking and talking. Communicating. You even do problem solving at your own little level. <br />

On Tuesday, you had your 18 month check up. I feel terribly bad that I have not been able to attend all doctor's appointments. It's just difficult with Mommy working full time. I would give anything to drop everything and go be at your side. Daddy does wonderful, but we are a team and a small part of me breaks when I cannot attend. Anyways...here's what's up.<br />
<br />
You are 31.75 inches tall you weigh a whopping 20 pounds 14 ounces. Addie Lou, you haven't gained a pound in 6 months! Yikes! The doctor is worried about you. I still think you are just tiny b/c you are a spitting image of your father and those are his genes. He has always been a <i>runt</i> as we say. Nonetheless, Dr. Neilsen wants to see you back in 3 months instead of 6 months. From now until then, we plan on feeding you nonstop. And I am going to try to make you fall in love with milk. You would much rather drink water. Odd. But that's you, my Lou. <br />
<br />
To no surprise, you have another minor ear infection. Only in one ear, thankfully. And hopefully this is the end of these darn ear infections. Although they don't seem to bother you too much unless they get terribly bad in the end. <br />
<br />

Addison, you still love to read. We read all the time and we love it! You also still love your Einstein and even have your own little way of saying "Einstein." You are excellent at puzzles. And just tonight you knocked my socks off. You saw your binky on the counter. I didn't realize that's what you were saying as you walked across the kitchen. So, you reached up to the counter and pulled down the papers that your binky was on top of. Only a few papers fell onto the floor, but most importantly, your binky made it safely into your hand. I was sitting on the couch. When you walked around the corner you said "B," which I believe means binky. It was hilarious and great all in one. <br />
<br />
It's great b/c you understand SO much. You help us throw away your diapers and clean everything up. You know what you want and for the most part, you can tell us. You still use sign language and pick up quickly on your new words. This week at school was lion, drum, children, and ball. You knew all of them a couple of days. I know you are smart. I also know you will be an excellent big sister. Never ever forget that you are mommy and daddy's first born. We love you more than the world little girl.<br />
<br />
I thank God every single day for giving me you. I just wish He could slow time down because at this rate I feel like you will be off to kindergarten in no time and before I blink again you will be graduating high school, going off to college. I don't think I will ever let you leave the house ;) Thank you for lighting up my life every single day in hundreds of ways.<br />

I think I need to take another picture from the same angle to see if I am carrying the same. I can't really tell...am I stupid? Part of me starts at the top and says 2.0 is <i>swollen </i>looking there. Get to my belly button and I guess I am lost :) Ha ha. Anyways...you tell me...carrying the same or different? I will aim for that same angle pic soon. I literally just woke up in 2.0's picture, so no I do not have stretch marks...those are lines from my sheets!!</div>

I am sorry your blog posts have been minimal. I blame her for taking up all of my free time. I guess it's fair to blame you too though. If I do have free time, like when Addison goes to bed or during nap time on the weekends, I am exhausted and feel like I should be sleeping too. I am growing you in my belly for heaven's sake, I need my rest!<br />

So here's a little update for you. As of tomorrow, we are at 26 weeks! I have gained roughly 15 pounds. I feel HUGE. This time I feel less cute prego and more out of shape. I have not worked out since I got a positive pregnancy test (for the most part). I was so sick in the beginning and restarting CrossFit after weeks off when pregnant isn't incredibly smart. However, not working out is not smart either. I am just hoping I can recover and get into a routine post #2 in an amount of time I am happy with :) <br />
<br />
2.0 is about two pounds and is opening his or her eyes this week. I am into maternity pants...shirts are hit or miss. Most of the styles these days welcome a baby bump- thankfully. For some terrible reason, the market ups the prices of maternity clothes b/c women <i>have</i> to purchase them. It's great spending money when you are gaining weight and only going to be able to use these clothes for a fairly small window in life. I know the weight gain is good and some stores have stylish, cute maternity clothes. They are expensive. And I have other things to spend my hard earned dough on ;)<br />
<br />
I crave sweet and salty things...again. Maybe 2.0 is a girl. I really have no clue or feeling. I always want Mexican food. Breakfast doesn't sound good unless it's terrible for me and takes awhile to cook. This makes Monday through Friday morning tough for me. Thankfully, I do not feel sick like I did the first several weeks. <br />
<br />
I've had more pain this time around. I am sure they are growing pains...but always on my left side. I will be talking to the doctor about this at our next appt. I was also thinking the baby's head might be resting nicely on my nerves or bone or something else down there. It's pretty painful. I also forget that while I was working the first time around, the circumstances were different. I could sit down, drink water, and use the restroom when I wanted. It wasn't a bad deal...let me tell ya! <br />
<br />
Ok, 2.0 it's almost time for Addison to go to bed and Daddy is tired of taking care of her craziness solo :) Time for Mommy to head out. I sure can't wait to meet you and find out what you are. I really think you will be best friends with your big sister one day, no matter if you are a boy or a girl <3 p="p"><a href="http://s1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff362/hbutte/?action=view&current=signature3.png" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff362/hbutte/signature3.png" /></a></3>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4681343182786245542.post-30917302856147980132012-09-04T21:34:00.001-05:002012-09-04T21:34:48.845-05:005 Generations<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I am SO SO SO SO SO glad that Mike and I made the drive down to Rolla for Wes and Michael's high school graduation. We missed the ceremony but were there for both of the parties and some much needed family time. We drove in good time and enjoyed our bonding experience. Thanks to the iPad for providing some entertainment for Addison. Yes, these pictures are 4 months late :) That's about how far along things are running around here! Anyways...sometimes a four generations picture is hard to come by these days. My family has great genes and my great grandma is still kicking. She's in great condition and we were excited to see her, as it has been awhile. Addison cooperated for the most part. A five generations picture was a must. So here they are in all their glory!<br />
